Tanner replaces Skiter on Ninjas in Pyjamas’ Dota 2 roster

Ninjas in Pyjamas’ team captain, Peter “ppd” Dager, has announced that the team has released Position 1 carry, Oliver “Skiter” Lepko, and signed Jason “TANNER” Weedon.

Current Position 2 player, Nico “Gunnar” Lopez, will be taking over the 1 slot, while Tanner will be the team’s new Position 2 middle laner.

"Everyone on NiP appreciates the time & effort that Oliver has put in. We wish we would have achieved better results but unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Thank you for your earnest effort and good luck on your future teams." @Peterpandam

In a blog post on the official NiP website, the organization stated that after signing Skiter during the post TI9 roster shuffle, the team has had uneven performances, which forced them to make a change and “welcome new blood into the lineup.”

Tanner is a British player who made a name for himself in public matches. He was picked up by Romanian organization Vikin.gg, but only stayed on the team for a month before making the move to NiP.
